Lumber Inc

Lumber Inc is a portrait-oriented idle arcade game where players manage a lumber empire. The core mechanic involves upgrading sawmills and hiring workers to efficiently process wood and earn income. Its appeal lies in its simple, one-handed gameplay and satisfying progression, though advancement is heavily reliant on ads, with some players feeling this can slow progress.
